A heterogeneous mixture can only be a solid, and a homogenous mixture can only be a liquid.

You can’t see the parts in a heterogeneous mixture, but you can in a homogenous mixture.

You can see the parts in a heterogeneous mixture, but you can’t see them in a homogenous mixture.

A heterogeneous mixture is a physical combination, and a homogenous mixture is a chemical combination.
